Gal..
I was gaining weight on Effexor and Depakote, but the new doctor I see now was mad that my old doctor had me on the Depakote at all because first of all I gained so much weight and second I am not bipolar I am clinically depressed. So, when I came to this new doc, he had a big ol' mess to deal with...hehe! Anyway, I need to take off like 40 pounds now becasue the weght gain is bringing my clinical depression down to lows I never knew it had. I have been on the Effexor for about 2 years now, but I am increasing my dose now from 300 to 400. I am praying that increase and the Topamax will start to help here soon for the depression and weight loss. Did the weight loss just kind of start on its own or were you really tryng to diet and exersise also?? Sorry I am asking so many questions :)
THanks so much!! Nycole
